In order to get into PE as a Senior in High School you have to have at least done some kind of PWM or Boutique IB during your junior/senior summer. I would consider applying to a college to give you more educational experience and access to OCR. Good luck.

Also, don't tell the guys at the Columbus PE firm that you are thinking about going to U Mich undergrad, thats an auto-ding.

 

Ya the first part was obviously a joke.

Honestly the relative "prestige" of the firms is something I wouldn't worry about all too much. Since you have contacts at all of the firms I'd go with the one that will take the time to teach you some things along the way. Being in high school you'll get stuck with a lot of grunt work but if you can find someone that really likes you and is willing to take the time to explain what they are doing that is something that could really help you along the road.

 

How many times are you going to post the goddamn Rockbridge Capital link?
